• the present invention relates to a cover that can allow different contents to be mixed when the cover is opened, and more particularly to a cover capable of improving assembling efficiency by allowing the cover to be coupled with a container with a cover body and a packing member assembled in advance. Also, the present invention relates to a cover having a simple structure and allowing a packing member to be attached to a container and remain in or to be attached to the cover and detached together with, if necessary, when the cover is opened.
• a container containing beverage or cosmetics generally includes one type of content. Therefore, the container has a simple structure consisting of a container having a receiving space for receiving such a content and a cover for sealing the container.
• a packing member is generally used so as to store a content added to the content of the container.
• the packing member is detached from the container and falls into a receiving space inside the container.
• the packing member When the packing member exists inside the container, it is problematic that many troubles are caused in using the contents of the container. Also, since the packing member fails to subside to the lower portion of the container in the case of sol-type contents, the packing member may block a path through which the content flows out of the container.
• An object of the present invention is to provide a cover for preventing a partition member from getting into a receiving space inside a container when the cover of the container is opened, the partition member partitioning at least two different contents.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a cover for improving assembling efficiency by allowing the cover to be assembled to a container after a cover body and a packing member are incorporated into one assembly.
